In health care facilities, such as patient rooms, isolation
rooms or operating rooms, airborne viruses and bacteria can
be a threat to both patients and health care givers alike.
It is vitally important to be able to control or eliminate
these contaminants through the effective design of the
ventilation system in these facilities.

Recognizing its importance, ASHRAE recently dedicated a
Standard specifically for such facilities. In particular,
ANSI/ASHRAE/ASHE Standard 170-2008, Ventilation of Health
Care Facilities, defines ventilation system design
requirements that provide environmental control for
comfort, as well as infection and odor control.
